| Content Description | The images derive from the Calhoun Industrial School, founded by the Hampton (Va.) Institute. Most appear to be circa 1895-1905 (based on when Riley worked at Hampton). The images were taken by Richard Riley. The images show young black students of both sexes (most men wearing school uniforms -- surplus federal uniforms given to the schools) and black sharecroppers. The Calhoun School was a social experiment in which local plantations were purchased and land distributed to local blacks. See GLC 5140.02 Album |
